I will be changing from my Drowsy Waters Farm blog, to this. Please bare with me well I come to terms with Blogger!

Thank you for visiting.

Although I have many other interests, I try to keep this blog about our farm.

We raise Nubian and Toggenburg milk goats, South African Boer meat goats, Katahdin hair sheep, Holland Lop and Netherland Dwarf rabbits, and then of course....those animals that actually get the name of pets...Our dogs and cats!

Please feel free to post comments or ideas of topics to discuss.

We have been actively raising sheep, goats, and rabbits for several years (we are going into our 11th with goats and sheep) and would be happy to share any advice or experiences we have learned along the way. We are also eager to hear about other breeders experiences!

Drowsy Waters

This blog is dedicated to the happenings at Drowsy Waters.

Although there are other animals around the farm, Katahdin Hair Sheep are our main focus. We have been working with these amazing sheep since 1999 and have developed a passion and vision for the breed.

This blog hold stories, updates, and ramblings of the primary flock caretaker on current events in the sheep world to small incidents in the barn.

Holland Lop Rabbits

We enjoy showing (and sometimes winning) as well as breeding our Hollands. As of 2009 we cut back on showing but still enjoy working with these sweet bunnies.

Besides being excellent show rabbits, Hollands are the perfect pet. We have been really blessed to be working with some of the amazing stock from all the great breeders here on the west coast!

Alexander the Great

Parsley

"Every boy should have two things: a dog, and a mother willing to let him have one."

Amelia and Vienna

"If you have men who exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow men."

St. Francis of Assisi

Hermen

"To err is human- to forgive, canine"

Rebel

"Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends."

Cicero

John 10:11-16

"I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. But he that is an hireling, and not a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.

I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.

As the father knoweth me, even so I know the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. And other sheep have I which are not of this fold: them also must I bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd."
